Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the effects of resistance exercise and aerobic exercise on growth hormone levels and bone mass in postmenopausal women. The sample of study and Menopause women aged 50 years and over in Muang District, Kamphaeng Phet Province. Obtained from a specific selection (purposive sampling), a sample of 30 people was divided into 2 groups, each group of 15 people. Group 1 exercised with resistance. Group 2 exercised aerobics by training. Eight weeks of exercise were conducted to determine bone mass and growth hormone levels before and after 8 weeks of exercise and to compare the effects of resistance training and aerobic training on growth hormone and bone mass levels.


            Findings were as follows: The results showed that: Group 1, resistance exercise. After 8 weeks of exercise, there was a statistically significant increase in bone mass at the .05 level and an increase in growth hormone levels. Statistically significant at the .05 level. Group 2, aerobic exercise. There was a statistically significant increase in bone mass at the .05 level, but there was no significant change in the growth hormone level. There was a comparison between the two groups found that The resistance exercise group showed more significant changes than the aerobic exercise group in both bone mass and growth hormone levels.


            In conclusion, resistance exercise increased bone mass and growth hormone levels more than the aerobic exercise group in postmenopausal women.
